IMPROVEMENT lN HARNESS-TRIMMINGS.

Specication forming part of Letters Patent No. 116,904, dated July 11, 1871.

To all uhom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SIMON WIENER, of Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented certain Improvements in Harness-Trimmings, of which the following is a specification The nature of my invention consists in placing the sewing or seams of the leather covering of rings, hooks, and other mountings of harnesstrimmings inside of the metallic lining of the ring or hook, so as' to render the seam invisible and protect the seam from the wear and tear of the harness-reins, straps, or chains, as I will further explain by reference to the accompanying drawing, in which-A Figure l is an elevation of a harness-ring with my invention applied to it 5 Fig. 2, a topview; Fig. 3, a vertical section, and Fig. et, a transverse section.

In the said drawing, A indicates a harnessring, of which B is the stem; C, the collar; D, the leather covering of the ring and collar; E, the sewed seam on the interior of the leather covering; and F is the metallic lining 0I the ring placed Within the ring and over the sewed leather seam. G is the bead on the exterior of the ring, and H is the imitation stitching on the leather covering D.

The leather covering is prepared by steeping it in water or other iiuid until very pliable, and then stitched around the ring and collar and sewed, the seam beinginvisible after themetallic lining is placed in position; and the leather covering of the collar C may be stitched in the usual manner, if preferred.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isl A harness-ring or hook covered with leather, having the seam beneath and protected by the metallic lining, as a new article of manufacture.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my signature this 3d day of May, 1871,.
